Waiting for Squid Game Season 3? Well, before moving onto the next chapter, it is important to remember the key moments from the first two seasons. And to help you out, here are ten recap points covering the most important scenes from Squid Game Season 1 and Season 2. Read on to know all about the popular and thrilling South Korean series.

1. Invitation

Well, we all have to start with the mysterious invitation that people struggling with debt received. They were taken away to an isolated island and were offered a chance to play several deadly games for a massive cash prize.

2. Red Light, Green Light

One of the most dangerous and thrilling games. Players who moved after the giant scary doll called “Red Light” was immediately shot and killed. It still gives viewers goosebumps and makes their jaws drop with fear.

3. Player 456

Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung Jae, the main character, used to struggle with a gambling addiction. He entered the games to win money for his daughter and to clear his heavy debts in season 1.

4. All About Forming And Breaking Bonds

Players formed alliances to survive. Gi-hun became close with an elderly man, Oh Il-nam. He also teamed up with Kang Sae-byeok, a defector from North Korea, and Ali, a worker from Pakistan. However, trust was often broken while playing games.

5. Deadly Glass Bridge

Another scary game that involved crossing a bridge made of glass. Players had to choose between tempered and untempered glass, and if one of the players fell down, it was game over.

6. Mastermind

The masked frontman, who ran the games, was later found to be the missing brother of detective Hwang Jun-ho. In a shocking twist, the old man, Oh Il-nam (Player 001), was exposed as the true creator and organiser of the Squid Game.

7. Comeback

Now, let’s talk about the second season! Gi-hun meets a Squid Game recruiter and goes after him to stop the games. He changed his appearance and got ready to take down the organisation.

8. Detective Is Also Back

Hwang Jun-ho, played by Wi Ha-jun, fell off a cliff in Season 1; however, he was revealed to have survived and continued his investigation.

9. Frontman Becomes Player

In Season 2 the Front Man, Hwang In-ho, played by Lee Byung-hun does something surprising by joining the games himself. Unlike Season 1, where he just watched over everything, he hides as Player 001 and competes with the other players.
